Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains a first analysis of European security after the INF Treaty. These reflections have three characteristics. They begin with historical and philosophical studies that should help define the specific of Europe in the global arena, thus avoiding all narrow conceptual categories. Secondly, attention is paid to highlighting innovative proposals such as those regarding common security and defensive defense. Finally, with regard to the regional areas, preference is given to the Mediterranean since this aspect seems to be underestimated in studies on European security.
